It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, limited
liability company, or corporation, by himself or itself, or by his or its
servants or as the servant or agent of another, to sell or offer for sale or
delivery at retail any coal or coke which is sold by weight, unless each
such delivery is accompanied by a delivery ticket and a duplicate
thereof, upon each of which tickets and duplicates thereof shall be
written or otherwise indicated:
(a) the name and address of the person, firm, limited liability
company, corporation, or association selling and delivering or
attempting to sell or deliver such commodity;
(b) the gross weight of the load, the tare weight of the delivering
vehicle, and the net amount in weight of the commodity being
delivered in such vehicle;
(c) the name or identifying initials of the party who weighed it;
(d) the state in which the coal was mined, the name of the coal,
brand or trade name, if any;
(e) the number of the vein or seam from which the coal was taken;
and
(f) the size and grade thereof, which size of all grades must be
designated according to the openings in the screens over and
through which each such size of coal is made at the place of
production.
One (1) of such delivery tickets or the duplicate thereof shall be
delivered and surrendered to the person or persons in charge of the
delivery of such load of commodities to the purchaser thereof or to his
agent or representative, and the other ticket or duplicate shall be
retained by the person, firm, limited liability company, or corporation
making such sale for a period of not less than twelve (12) months from
date of sale. All coal or coke so sold or delivered shall consist of the

and quality or weight of coal or coke than that so described and
indicated, and proof of the sale, delivery, or substitution of any coal or
coke which is not of the kind, quality, and weight so described and
indicated shall constitute prima facie evidence and proof of intent to
violate this section.
